The list goes on, Martin Kemp (same age as me but hasn't worn as well), David Lee Roth, Midge Ure, Nenah Cherry and the incomparable Kirsty MacColl. (Kirsty, I didn't know until today we shared a birthday, maybe that's why I was and am still disproportionately and genuinely upset by your untimely death, such a mindless random waste. Musically we have much in common, you have talent - I have all of your CDs.) I've just noticed even 13 years on I still can't write to or about Kirsty in the past tense.
Kirsty - Much Missed
My Astrology Experiment
What can i say Dave, we are like twins our lives have been so alike. Both Librans, and.... What!!
You don't believe in astrology? You don't believe that Celestial objects moving relative to us billions and billions of miles away (Oi! Prof. Brian Cox, Help me out here, i'm crap at the light year to miles calculation) have a direct impact on how we live our lives? As a Libran, i like to weigh up the evidence and come to a balanced view. Let's do a compasson. Who shall we pick? Dave has a wikipaedia page (who'd have thought it?), and I don't but I do know me personally so... job done
Here we go....
David William Donald Cameron (/ˈkæm(ə)rən/ born October 1966;) is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, First Lord of the Treasury,Minister for the Civil Service and Leader of the Conservative Party. He represents Witney as its Member of Parliament (MP).[1]
Cameron studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Brasenose College, Oxford, gaining a first class honours degree. He then joined theConservative Research Department and became Special Adviser to Norman Lamont, and then to Michael Howard. He was Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications for seven years.
He was defeated in his first candidacy for Parliament at Stafford in 1997, but was elected in 2001 as the Member of Parliament for the Oxfordshireconstituency of Witney. He was promoted to the Opposition front bench two years later, and rose rapidly to become head of policy co-ordination during the 2005 general election campaign. With a public image of a youthful, moderate candidate who would appeal to young voters, he won theConservative leadership election in 2005.[2]
In the 2010 general election held on 6 May, the Conservatives won 306 seats in a hung parliament. After five days of negotiation, Cameron formed acoalition with the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems). Cameron leads the first coalition government of the United Kingdom since the Second World War. The 43-year-old Cameron became the youngest British Prime Minister since the Earl of Liverpool 198 years earlier.[3]
As I said, I don't have a Wikipedia page but if I did I think it would go like this
(This entry requires source materials and citations - please help to improve this page)
Kevin John Hale (hay/elle; born October 1961) is a Retired Health Service Manager, a Blogger, Husband of Helen Sarah Hale, Dad of Chantelle and Chloe and Step-dad of Thomas, he is an India Addict, loves Cricket and tries to help out at SISP and Kovalam Surf Club when he can. He knows his place and represents no ones views but his own.
Hale studied occasionally at Dudley Grammar School, then Wulfrun College Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton Poly (later Wolverhampton University) , gaining just enough credits to get by. He joined the NHS in 1979 as a Junior A Medical Laboratory Scientific Officer and in his first NHS post progressed to become a State Registered Biomedical Scientist. This took him one year longer than normally required as he couldn't be arsed to do the work needed to pass first time and preferred to spend his time down the pub with his mates.
While serving as a technician Hale became, and specialized in, being a know it all arsey git which got him noticed and selected/elected to become a trade union representative for ASTMS (now Unite). Within this role Hale progressed to the rank of national delegate and full time trade union convener.
After 4 years as a convener Hale, having obtained a post graduate qualification in Health Service Management got bored with Trade Union life and gave it up to return to pathology for about 4 days. Due to the fact that Hale was really not a very good Bio-medical Scientist and that during his time as a convener Hale had made friends all over the place by knowing who to talk to get things done and often by judicious twisting of the rules and coffee drinking in all the right staff rooms, he was seconded to the Office of the Chief Executive as a project manager. Thanks almost entirely due to the work of others, successful projects included working with King's Fund and disaster and contingency planning.
In late '98 early '99 Hale again became bored and left to work in Primary Care becoming project manager (later Project Director) of a first wave PMS Pilot. Here Hale perfected his management style using the JFDI school of project management. He also learnt "how to get on" by attending the Kings Fund Senior Management Training Scheme, Funding for this very expensive (more than an MBA) and prestigious national course was secured by Hale "having a hissy fit" and threatening to leave. (It was purely by coincidence this was just before his employers end of year pension and tax returns were due which had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with them agreeing to fund the course).
In 2000 Hale left the PMS pilot to work In Birmingham as a PCT Senior Primary Care Manager, did a bit as a Senior Secondary Care Commissioner then became Head of Personal Medical Services.
In the summer of 2003 Hale had so much leave carried over/left he decided to take a month out and learn to surf in Cornwall. This was to be a pivotal point in Hale's career as he decided sitting for 3-4 hours every day on the M5, re-doing the same papers 3 or 5 times "to get ahead of the game" was pants so he applied for and obtained the post of Head of Primary Care for North Devon. Within 6 months Hale was promoted to Interim Director of Primary Care.
Following a brutal re-organisation and merger Hale was appointed as Asst. Dir Primary Care (Devon). Hale retired from the NHS on 1st April 2013 Having reached the rank of Asst Dir Primary Care (Independent Contractor Performance) for the Cluster of NHS Devon, Torbay and Plymouth .
Hale is now happily retired and living in Devon and India
They are sooooooo similar, I know perhaps I should have used Martin Kemp as he was born not only on the same day but the same year too, but i thought it might be too obvious. Our shared good looks, complexion and athletic build might subconsciously colour your objective assessment and thoughts too much.
Dave learns we are Astrological Twins
Your ability to express your thoughts and feelings clearly is enhanced today, and your friends are appreciative. Actually, you may start something new and unprecedented as you make yourself heard!
(scary!!! need to watch my blogg stats to see if it comes true - so I tried another My.horroscope.com)
Excitement mounts in your household when some new equipment comes into your possession. This could involve a computer, phone, or some other device. This could make a big different to everyone, but make sure you don't treat it like a toy. You'll want it to last a while!
You may scoff but the evidence is right there!!! Spot On!!! how else other than its in the stars did they know that on my birthday, I would be getting some electrical goods, honest i didn't make it up it was just there... when i searched... on my computer... on my birthday... and its a toy... oh... i see.
Later, around 11:00 I see Mars, coming into conjunction with Milky Way, and a cup of coffee.
Dave, seriously, have a good day, have a kit kat and take a break.... a long.... long..... break. Note if you continue to follow our joint astrological path you should be retired in a couple of years.
